Quantum fluctuations

>>8327566
Bit meaningless to me could you expand?

Also what caused the fluctuations?

>But first you must question how it is doing that and why is it doing it in such a common fashion?
Wooooooah you mean the same chemical has the same effect on human beings? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooah

Here's another question, why are almost all psychedelic users such fucking morons?

>It's also found that we produce large quantities of DMT when we are born, while we sleep and also when we experience death or near-death.
False.

>Why is this -the- most illegal drug in the world?
Nonsense.

>DMT is also produced within the pineal gland, a gland that a lot of products like soda, water and foods directly calcify.
False.

>I am a very rational person and like to look at things objectively and I hope the majority of you do too.
Yet you couldn't be bothered to look up evidence for your claims...

>Wooooooah you mean the same chemical has the same effect on human beings? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooah

This argument will never be plausible. Having the same effects make sense, but to force you into the same experience like I described others having... How can you justify that at all?

I haven't even experienced DMT before but it's undeniably one of the most interesting molecules that hasn't had any -real- research.

I believe it was only hypothesized that we produce it when we sleep etc... To that I will admit the post is a little phony.

Why would people experience something that can better their lives from this? People are often shown everything about themselves and from that, they improve who they were.

Also yeah, it's very illegal. It'll be at the top of any classification in any developed country, yet is has been SHOWN to have many benefits.

They don't have the same experience, the hallucinations are not even close to be as similar as you describe. If you actually look at the research that's been done, you'll see there is a large variety of hallucinations, and they definitely don't follow some plotline like you think. The fact that many "tropes" of some hallucinations are similar is not surprising, since we expect psychedelics to produce similar hallucinations. What you are asking to be explained, on the other hand, is just something you made up, or heard of and gullibly believed, just like the pineal gland crap.

>I believe it was only hypothesized that we produce it when we sleep etc... To that I will admit the post is a little phony.
No, it was conjectured to be produced while we sleep by one guy, and then a bunch of acidheads turned this into a meme, and you gullibly swallowed it, because you want to believe it. Most rational, objective people would at least attempt to determine the veracity of claims they read on the internet before talking about them.

>Why would people experience something that can better their lives from this? People are often shown everything about themselves and from that, they improve who they were.
This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People who believe such hallucinations are significant will claim they are significant and revealed deep truths and changed their lives. In reality, they are still losers who can't tell the difference between reality and elves. It's just your subconscious telling you what you want to hear. Part of the hallucination is the illusion that the hallucination is profound.

>Also yeah, it's very illegal.
No bruh it's THE MOST ILLEGAL drug bruh. Bruh. Bruh. Bruh.

If I had to identify one text that generated scores of research, phds, and helped expand the horizons of entire disciplines it would Alexander Grothendieck's Elements of Geometrie Algebrique.

The Bourbaki texts also deserve to be mentioned for their comprehensiveness and influence on style. It's worth noting this group was most active while Grothendieck was a member, but it also includes such titans as Cartan, Weil, Serre, Schwartz.

>energizing my balls

Given that shitposting is a sign of low testosterone you would probably benefit from energizing your balls.

Maybe just put your balls directly in the microwave.

You'd be better served by shielding your balls from eating the plastic-lined burrito container, which you just heated up and caused to leach even more endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your food.

>>8325628
Some microwaves have a degree of leakage. Put a wifi router that works at 2.4GHz near it and see if you find interference if you want a rough test without having to get a specialized sensor.

And no, microwave exposure isn't good for humans, independent of thermals. You should be just as wary of putting your laptop on your lap, or leaving your cell phone in your pocket. Your balls are getting irradiated in much the same way as microwave leakage, just minus the obvious heating.

Is reality a simulation? What happened significantly before the big bang? If there are multiple separate universes, what do they look like?

What if your passion is building robots and you're afraid the government is going to use your passion/work to build Skynet? I mean the only people who are doing serious robot work these days are defense contractors.

I don't know, man. My interests change so often and so drastically that I can't trust myself anymore. I feel that if I invest any amount of time in such-and-such an interest, it will be a waste because I will just lose that interest and find another one, so I end up just not doing anything but shitpost on 4chan or other superficial activities.

This shit is debilitating. I feel like I am floating along through life, not really making any major progress with anything. I am at the whims of my emotions. I might decide to work through a textbook one day, but I can never make a real commitment because I am concerned about wasting time, though paradoxically I am wasting time anyway being concerned about that.

Who taught you vector calculus without explaining what a vector space is? Someone played a cruel trick on you.
That's like giving a knife to a chicken.

>>8324936
Can you explain what you mean without resorting to pretentious metaphors? Thanks

>>8324926

Yes. Because (1,2) is not the same as (1,2,0,0) and you can't add upp vectors that are parts of different R. This all makes more sense once you get into linear algebra and look what actually dimensions and spaces are.

>>8323297
Actually its probably more analogous to how most animals don't recognise their reflection in a mirror as themselves nvm

Your consciousness ends and "you" die every time you fall asleep.

Don't ever fall asleep.

NASA’s budget for fiscal year 2011 is roughly $18.5 billion — 0.5 percent of a $3.7 trillion federal budget. In 2010, Americans spent about as much on pet food.
